After reading Genesis 27, I came across this question :
In Old Testament times, names like Isaac (‘laughter’) or Jacob (‘grasper’) carried a great significance. Do you know what your name means? Does the description fit you? If not, what kind of descriptive name would fit you better?
Well, my name is Hannah (quite obvious) & when I searched the internet for the meaning of my name, it mostly popped out to be the GRACE of God or favor. There’s no surprise there since Hannah (in 1 Samuel) did asked God for a son to bear. & she did bear a child – Samuel in the favor of God. & also, by God’s grace, she had the child. :)
To think of the meaning and see how it fits me as a person, I guess it does link. By God’s grace, I was born & also brought up in a healthy family. Blessed with many good memories, family members and friends. Food and clothes. All the necessities were blessed by Him and even additional ‘luxury’ here and there. By His grace and His favor, I did not let myself simply live my life without Him totally influencing me. He was always there even through my rebellion days, how? Well, quite obviously I’m still alive. I did had doubt of living but I pulled through, through His love for me.
I might be a disgrace to the name. But I really love my name and its meaning, and I thank Him each day that my parents gave me such a beautiful name. (even though Hannah Montana corrupted my name) I would not and could not ask for a better name to describe me as a child of God. <3
